GAMSAT Physics Equation Lists (Formulas and Topics)

Memorising GAMSAT physics equations does not replace understanding. Strong science reasoning may negate the need to memorise. However, the GAMSAT physics equations that we have listed can sometimes provide shortcuts when problem solving.

If you don't see the highlighted Greek symbols above then the physics equations or formulas below will not make sense; thus adjust fonts on your browser to Unicode. Besides the formulas on this page, we have also recently added a GAMSAT physics syllabus (topic list).

Please note: ACER announced in 2011 that calculators will no longer be permitted for GAMSAT Section 3. For this reason, we have created a separate page with useful tips and formulas related to GAMSAT Physics and Section 3 in order to help you develop math skills: Free GAMSAT Maths Tips and Formulas.

Angle θ may be given in radians (R) where 1 revolution = 2πR = 360°

Estimate square root 3 as 1.7 and root 2 as 1.4 (N.B. calculators are no longer permitted so these details may save you time in GAMSAT Physics or GAMSAT Chemistry).

Cross-sectional area of a tube = area of a circle = πr2 where π can be estimated as 3.14 and r is the radius of the circle; circumference = 2πr.

Please note: ACER announced in 2011 that calculators will no longer be permitted for GAMSAT Section 3. Our updated list of GAMSAT Physics Topics can be found towards the bottom of this page.

GAMSAT Physics Topics

The following GAMSAT Physics Topic list or syllabus is not meant to be exhaustive nor definitive. It is a guideline for topics that we cover for the GAMSAT preparation course during our live classes and in the videos that we have online or as DVDs.
